WHAT CITY OF BERLIN
IS LIKE DURING WARTIME
1VHAT BERLIN IS LIip IN
London, Oct. 8.—Dr.gl. J. Pouts-
ma, Secretary of the Railway Men'.
'oA’Julon of South Africa ha. Ju.t arrlv-
^ed in London from Berlin and tell,
m an toterenlng atory. of condition.
^ there .Ince the war' began.
> Br. Pout.me 1. one of the nine la
bor legder* .who. waa deported from
South Africa Mveral month, ago in
couneettoli-with the general .trike
there. He waa in Berlin for .lx week,
after the outbreak of War and had n
rather exciting time making hto way
nlowly to England. He said:
. “I left Berlin ten day. ago, and
have jti*t arrived to'England. My
.tay In the German capital will be
unforgetabte, ao crowded ha. It been
with vivid lmpresalon. and great
events. I should like to tell the
working clan the truth about the
state of feeling In Germany Immedt
ately before the war and during It*
early stages, up to August 27.
"At th. risk of my Ilf. 1 left Ber
lin with my wife and children on that
date with a Dutch past port I had
been lucky enough to obtain. With
the help of my knowledge of the
Dutch language and through the kind
ness of a foreign ambassador, I man
aged to slip over the border Into Hoi
land. Everywhere I went, outolde
Germany, I found the Socialists con
vinced that Germany to wrong and
extremely anxious that Great Britain
should respond to the call to- arm*.
—.J, for one. feel so strongly on tbs
point that I at once reported myself
to the British Labour Party head
quarters, offering to address meet
ings If I am required, to tell the peo
ple what I believe to be the need of
the l)Our and what I. at stake.
"When it became known that Ger
many had declared war, the whole of
Berlin waa aflame with an enormous
enthusiasm. The streets were dense
with marching throngs singing the
patriotic songs of the Fatherland, and
making their way to the Kalser's pal
ace. It looked as If the whole city
bad gone mad.
“There was at that time g .confident
belief that Great Britain would re
main neutral. Just after Great Bri
tain had entered the conflict I was
told that no British subject would be
allowed to leave the country and 1
to report myself every day to th*
police. I had In my possession an
English passport which I had taken
out only two hours before England
sent her ultimatum to Germany.
"During my enforced stay In the
capital I saw the entrance of the
Kaiser, the Kalserin and the Crown
Prince with bis wife and thg. princes
from Potsdam. It was a scene of the
wildest enthusiasm. The picture' of
the Emperor Is a vivid memory,
did not bow once in acknowledgement
of the shouts of the crowd. The
Crown Prince and his wife nodded
and smiled continually, but the Em
peror sat with one hand at hto gold-
ed helmet, stern and Inscrutable, a
figure of destiny. There was
during the whole time the faintest
flicker of a smile.
"Scenes very different from these
occurred on the arrival of the refu
gees from Eastern Prussia In conse
quence of the Russian advance. They
came In thousands, rich and .poor
alike, packed In goods, trucks with
all their belongings In small hand-

Atlanta, Oct 8.—A conference
state house officials Including
Governor, Secretary of State, Attor
ney Genera! find Controller General,
held at the capitol yesterday, reach
ed tho conclusion that the construe
Hon of the proposed North Georgia
Mineral Railroad from Cartersville to
Atlanta as a part of the Louisville
and Nashville system would unques
tionably Imperil the value of tho
Western and Atlantic Railroad owned
by the ptata.
These officials; It Is said; reached
the conclusion that this charter
should not be granted If the Plate cai\
find any legal way In which to refund
The Attorney General has al
ready advised the Secretary of State
thdt he hug fid discretion, but must
issuo the chariot' If he satisfies blm-i
self that the petition conforms ‘to the
law.
In the event no legal groutidi tot i
flat refusal can be found, the present
plan, It is raid, is to havo the Secre
tary of State delay action upon the
application until such time aa the
Legislature can meet The new Leg'
Islature will, be elected on Novem
ber 3. At that time, If the Governor
thinks conditions warrant It, he can
call an extraordinary session of the
Legislature to consider the danger
confronting the state road.
E. D. Cole, representative In the
Legislature from Bartow county, said
yesterday that In tha event the Secre
tary of State waa compelled to Issue
a charter to the North Georgia Min
eral Railroad, he at a citizen of the
state which owna the Western and
Atlantic and as a citizen of Carters-
ville, one of the proposed terminals
of the new line, would bring action
In the courts to prevent Its construc
tion. Mr. Cole believes that if It ac
complishes no other purpose such lit
igation would delay the construction
of the proposed road until after tbs
Legislsture meets next June, when It
can take such action as will safe
guard the state’s road.
